FoUR prisoners escaped from tie Apache county jail at Saint Johns, last week. Their names are Bill Brown, John Brown, Red Murphy and George West, and they arc known as hard men," It seems that with the assistance of confed- crates, on the outside, in tho ab- sence of tho jailors and sheriff, they unlocked the door of their cell and passed oat. This jail ae
 livery business IS getting to be quite q system iu Apache county and it goes to prove what NC havc for some time suspected, that namely, that there is a gang Of horse thieves, murderers, etc, in that county, and living outside is jail, whose valuable assistance IS givnc e-e-y time one of tho craft i5 nabbed. We believe that this gang has nest somewhere uear tho boundary Of Graham aud Apache counties, for Q few days ago Mexican living near Clifton lost two horses undcr rather sus- picious circumstances which were found between the Blue and Apache near tho county fine where likewise werc seen the two mules stolen from Wm. Smith of this place last summer. If we arc cor rect in our belief that this gang does exist, Wa can promise the CO., operation of tho Graham authori- ties with the officers of Apache county to root out and scatter this dangerous fraternity.

He received 2i cents Ter pound and the cattle averaged 1000 pounds making the price S27 90 per head. This is the biggest price yet received for a bunch Of cattle in the southwest this season and would seem to indicate that the coming market for cattle in this section is California.

Platt Mcdonald recently ship ped q car load of marble from his quarry on the middle Gila, thirty five miles from this place. This Is tho first ever sent away. The mar ble pleased the Chicago buyers and they have ordered another car load, which has been quarried and will be sent from Silver City this month while cut rate may be had. The last shipment was from Lords burg. This stone is permeated with fine bluish, green and white stripes, and is, of course, available only for ornamental purposes. 1t Is suceptable of very high polish, and being unlike the marble of any other section, is apt to be much in demand at good prices. An analysis has been made of this stone, and it is pronounced not strictly marble, but something new; and for lack of some dehuite qualification 1t has to be called marble to which it is certainly equal. Mr. Mcdonald IS one of the kind of men needed here--one who has the business courage to work and take risks that result in ,he development of tbn coautry.- Enterprise.

LONDON, Aug. 19.-Mr. Parnell in an inter
view, this evening, said the action of the gov
ernment in proclaiming the National League was
a gratuitous insult to the people OF Ireland.
Having regard TO the present condition of Ire
land, the proclamation is merely a move to cover
the weakness of the land bill. If that measure
does not protect tenants from evctions. there
will inevitably be trouble during the coming
winter.
Mr.. William O'Brien said to-day: ''The proc
lamation as it stands will not impede the work
of the league. I regard it "a better indication
of the hopeless position of the government than
even the Northwich election. 1t is significant
that the league was not proclaimed
der the sections of the crimes bill
relating to crime or association to commit crime.
The government have placed themselves in this
position: If they do nothing further they will be
laughed at, and If they do proceed in the matter
they will antagonize public opinion in Great
Britain. Whatever they do, they are powerless.

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-The mystery surrounding g
the disappearance of Miss Ada Hardy and
Charles Pitcher from Lake View was cleared up

were married secretly in Milwaukee, couple of
weeks ago. and in Atchison Kan,
where the young has a good position. The
marriage and departure were unannounced be-
cause they feared opposition from the girls par
ents. 1t is not denied that young Pitcher
sought to be revenged upon his future father-in-
law for causing his arrest deserter from
the army but the would be avenger fell in love
with his enemy's daughter, and he then thought
he might as well make his revenge as sweet as
possible.

intelligence of Adelina Hardy, who presumably
eloped with Charles Pitcher. Wednesday night,
has yet been received. The tale of marriage
three weeks ago in Milwaukee is said to have
been made up by Matthew Noble, friend of

Congregational House, Boston. from the Rev.
G. F. Montgomery under date of Adana, July
%, 1887:
81 returned here last Wednesday and found
that the distress from the famine has greatly in
creased during my absence. It is hsartrend-
ing TO the crowd of hungry women such as
collected in the street about our house yester-
day. many of then said they had not had any
thing to eat in three days, and their faces showed
it. In some cases the babes at their breast, get
ting nourishment from starved mothers, had
become too limp hold up their heads They
nearly all Moslems, and many
of them say that their husbands. unable
to hear the cry of hungry children. have
gone away and left them. The Municipal Coun-
ell of the city wishing to to make the number
of destitute people as small as possible, ordered
the imams and mukhtars of the city to enroll
those who had actually sold everything possible,
even to their bedding. and so had nothing lett,
and they enrolled 5000 persons In another
month this number will be doubled. The bitter
cry comes also from Tarsus. KooZolook, Misss.
Iasonart and msny other villages Ihere are
10000 or 1000 people on the plain who must
have help, perish. The city physician yes
terday reported three cases of death by starva-
tlon which came under his notice. How many
others there are nobody knows.
''The great question with us is how to appease
the hungry crowds of starving people that will
collect wherever there is tho least hope of
mercy They surge along the streets hungry.
restless, and some of them reckless. So far.
We have recorded the names. sects and resi-,
dences of 3, 800 persons whom we have helped
with wheat -four and some with small sums
